Anyone know how long my truck will wait to cross the border? Ford says shipped, but it's a month out for delivery.

Mine took a full month to get shipped once I received the shipped email. Just keep in contact with your dealership and they get 48 hour notice when your vehicle will be arriving.

In my experience not long. It took about 1 week for our Mav to get from Mexico to Chicago then it sat in a railyard in Chicago for 3 weeks. The it took around 3 hours to get from Chicago down to my dealer in Peoria. All said shipping took 4 weeks.

So if I had to guess I would say only a day or so for it to get through customs. Honestly customs isn't the issue. It's the back log of rail cars sitting at railyards around the country that you really need to worry about.

I think delay at customs is not a significant factor.

My truck was listed as shipped 2/12 and arrived at the first post-border rail stop in Phoenix on 2/16.
